Relaxing massage puts the nervous system first. The pressure is light to medium, the strokes are slow and continuous, and nothing is done abruptly; the aim is to move you from an alert state into a genuinely rested one, which for many people is the hardest thing to do on their own.
Technically it draws on Swedish massage but drops the vigorous movements. Therapists often use warmed oil, a heated couch, dimmed light and quiet, and pay particular attention to the scalp, face, hands and feet, where the calming effect is strongest. It is the treatment for people who are overwhelmed, sleeping badly or simply worn down, rather than for a specific muscular problem.
Book 60 minutes at the least; the benefit builds in the second half hour. Ninety minutes is common. It is offered widely as a mobile treatment, since a session at home means you can go straight to bed afterwards.

Couples treatments, four hands sessions and Ayurvedic, lomi lomi and shiatsu practitioners are common here rather than occasional, and many therapists combine massage with yoga, reiki or nutrition. Kemptown is the centre of that scene and has been for decades; Hove is calmer and more residential, with pregnancy and remedial specialists and longer daytime appointments; Seven Dials sits between the two. Sports massage clusters around the seafront runners and the swimming crowd.
